Hi, my name is Muzeyen! Here I am looking for wildlife in the Bale Mountains National Park in Southern Ethiopia.
I was born in the small town of Dinsho in the Bale Mountains National Park, Ethiopia. I studied less than an hour away in the city of Robe and started working in tourism when I was 20 years old.
I learned Bale Mountains like the back of my hand when I worked with the Ethiopian Wolf Conservation Programme (EWCP) for 4 years as a Wolf Monitor. I spent the days in the mountains following the wolves and helping to vaccinate the wolves against rabies. As a result, I know the packs by name and knows where they live – you’re guaranteed to see wolves on any trip with me!
After working with EWCP I worked with the Frankfurt Zoological Society as a para-ecologist. I capitalized on my knowledge of the park to help study and quantify vegetation, rodents (specifically rats), took transects and helped map the park using GPS.
I am one of the most well-known guides in the park. When photographers, videographers or producers visit I always their guide! Some of my most memorable clients include Graham Norton and BBC, and professional photographers Will Burrard-Lucas, Vincent Munier and Delphin Ruche.
2 years ago, I started my own tour company. I also resourced funding to build a filtration system for washing clothes at the Denka River in Dinsho town. This filtration system keeps soaps from entering the river.
But it is not just the Bale Mountains that I know so well. I have guided trips all over the country. Click here to see some of the places I’ll visit with you!
Looking forward to it,
Muzeyen
http://www.trekethiopia.orging time. My favorite destination by far was the Bale mountains and Bale Mountains National Park. The area is beautiful and stuningly diverse. You can see the alpine peaks, wildlife rich northern grasslands and the lush Harenna forest all in a few days time. This totally made my trip!
I also am so thankful to my guide Muzeyen Turke. He recently opened a new tour company in the small town of Bale Dinsho, also the location of the park HQ, easy going, fun and have great english. They are also Dinsho natives and have considerable knowledge of the Bale area. In addition, my guide planned and went with me throughout the country, so a Bale native but very experienced with many other destinations in the country. He took great care of me and had a great understanding of prices and traveling on a budget, being flexible with trip changes as my allowances changed.
I highly recomend these guys to any other travelers thinking about going to Ethiopia. Unfortunately, I don’t have their contact info. but I got it all from their website
http://www.trekethiopia.org these guys are what any traveler needs and more! I can’t wait to return to see my friend on another outing.

Excellence and Quality in Eco-Tourism
Bale Trekking Tour Company: Guided Nature
and Cultural Tours from one of Ethiopia’s
Most-Respected Guides
Born and raised in the Bale Mountains National Park, Muzeyen Turke’s
guided tours and encyclopedic knowledge of Ethiopian wildlife make this
company the go-to for television producers, wildlife photographers, and
eco-tourists from around the world

Located in the center of the Horn of Africa in East Africa, Ethiopia is a
country of approximately 99.5 million residents that is widely
considered to be the geographical origin for the modern human
species. It is said that, from here, Homo sapiens first set out towards
the Middle East and beyond, eventually becoming the dominant species
on the planet. The area has been home to a sovereign state or kingdom
of some kind since the second millennium BC, even becoming the only
African country to successfully turn back European colonialism in the
19th century and retain its sovereignty.
Today, Ethiopia is home to one of the world’s fastest growing
economies thanks to an industrial boom concentrated in the country’s
capital and largest city, Addis Ababa. With a rapidly rising skyline, and
being the only city in Africa with a light rail metro system, Addis Ababa
is one of the continent’s great cities, and an ideal entry-point into the
the beautiful country that is Ethiopia.
Around the world, Ethiopia is renowned for its natural beauty. As it is
the meeting point of three tectonic plates, the country is home to some
of the most extreme, dramatic, and impressive topography found
anywhere on the planet. It also where many of Africa’s most amazing
animals live, including hundreds of endangered and endemic species
that can only be found in Ethiopia. For this reason, Ethiopia is
considered to have an extremely high-potential tourism industry, with
attractions ranging from the country’s incredible national parks and
many historic sites and ancient ruins.
Eco-tourism and cultural tourism attract hundreds of thousands of
people to Ethiopia each year, and perhaps the most unmissable
attraction in the country is Bale Mountains National Park, a rugged
expanse of protected lands that covers over two-thousand square
kilometers across multiple ecosystems in the Bale Mountains and the
Sanetti Plateau of southern-central Ethiopia. This massive park and
hotspot of biodiversity is best seen from the land itself, trekking either
by foot or by horseback through the minimally-developed parklands, and
the best tour operator for the park and other Ethiopian tourist
attractions is Bale Trekking Tour Company, based in Bale Mountains
National Park.
Trek Ethiopia! Where True Expertise and Passion Come Together
© 2016 David V. / Raul M.
Bale Trekking Tour Company is the brainchild of Muzeyen Turke, one of
the most renowned guides in all of Ethiopia. His intense knowledge of
Ethiopia’s natural environments means that he is able to get his clients
up close and personal with some of the most incredible animals on the
planet. Turke, who was born and raised in Bale Mountains National Park,
first started working in the ecotourism industry at the age of twenty.
Over the years, he’s utilized and developed his knowledge of wildlife and
the park working for many of the most important organizations working
in conservation and science in the park. Some of his past experience
includes four years working for the Ethiopian Wolf Conservation
Programme (EWCP) as a Wolf Monitor, following the packs of the highly
endangered Ethiopian Wolf and administering rabies vaccinations, and
also working with the Frankfurt Zoological Society as a para-ecologist,
helping to map the park using GPS technology and documenting the
vegetation and small mammal populations living there.
As a result of his experience and lifelong immersion of Ethiopia’s
natural environments, Turke is regarded as one of the single best guides
in the country, and he has been tapped to lead expeditions of major
television programs such as Graham Norton’s visit to the park for the
BBC program Saving Wolves and of many of the most respected and
well-known nature photographers in the world, including Vincent
Munier, Delphin Ruche, and Will Burrard-Lucas, who has become famous
for his distinctive nighttime photographs of animals using remote
camera traps.
The Ethiopian Wolf attracts attention from all over the world due to the
fact that it is the most endangered carnivore in Africa, and the most
endangered canid in the world. Muzeyen Turke is perhaps the single
most knowledgeable of the species among any tour guide in the
country. His extensive experience working with distinctively red and
white furred wolves means that he knows the packs individually by
name, and any trek with him to the Bale Mountains is guaranteed to
include sightings of these rare and beautiful animals.
Other major destinations served by the company include Simien
Mountains National Park, Lalibela, Axum, Gonder Habir Dar, the
otherworldly Danakil Depression, Harar, The Omo Valley, the Caves of
Sof Omar, and more.

experiences to clients, for its impressive list of past clients, and for its
growth potential in an exploding industry, Business Initiative Directions
